[Cbe-oss-dev] [PATCH] Fix for syscall names in libspe-1.2.0

[Julio M. Merino Vidal]

Any news on this?  The problem is still present in the SVN  
repository.  (Note that libspe2 has a spu.h file which is correct in  
this regard.  Maybe libspe's spe.h should be renamed to spu.h too  
alongside all its contents.)
